Title: Model-Based Analysis of the Limiting Mechanisms in the Gas-Phase Oxidation of HCl Employing an Oxygen Depolarized Cathode

Abstract

The electrochemical oxidation of HCl to Cl₂ plays an important role in the production of polycarbonates and polyurethanes. Recently, the gas-phase oxidation of HCl proved to be significantly more efficient than the current state-of-the-art process based on the oxidation of hydrochloric acid. In experimental investigations of this gas-phase reactor, a limiting current can be observed that is so far not understood but impedes the overall reactor performance. In the present work, a nonisothermal multiphase agglomerate model is developed to investigate the underlying reasons for this limiting behavior in more detail. It is shown that the thermal management of the cell plays a significant role and that minor changes to its thermal resistance lead to the limiting behavior being caused by either flooding of the cathode or dehydration of the membrane and anode. An optimization of operational and structural parameters of the cell based on these insights leads to an increase in the limiting current by more than 90%. Interestingly, under these conditions a third phenomenon, the rate determining Tafel step in the microkinetic reaction mechanism of the HCl oxidation, limits the overall reactor performance. These insights harbor the potential for enormous energetic savings in this industrially highly relevant process.

Advances in the HCl gas-phase electrolysis employing an oxygen-depolarized cathode

Journal Article Bechtel, Simon ; Crothers, Andrew R. ; Weber, Adam Z. ; ... - Electrochimica Acta

The electrolysis of HCl to form Cl₂ is an integral part of the production of polycarbonates and polyurethanes. In recent years, the direct gas-phase electrolysis was shown to be significantly more efficient than the current state-of-the-art process based on the oxidation of hydrochloric acid. Still, three phenomena significantly limit the performance and industrial applicability of this process and have so far only been investigated theoretically. Firstly, a limiting behavior in the HCl oxidation reaction was observed, which seems to be of purely kinetic origin. Secondly, also in the full-cell employing an oxygen depolarized cathode, a limiting behavior was detected, whichmore »« less

The thermochemical conversion of fossil fuels through gasification will likely be the cornerstone of future energy and chemical processes due to its flexibility to accommodate numerous feeds (coal, biomass, natural gas, municipal waste, etc.) and to produce a variety of products (heat, specialty chemicals, power, etc.), as well as the inherent nature of the process to facilitate near zero emissions. Currently, the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) Fuels Program has two pathways for syngas utilization: The production of transportation fuels, chemicals, or chemical intermediates.

ELECTROLYTIC DISSOLUTION OF NUCLEAR FUELS. PART I. ZIRCONIUM IN HCl- METHANOL

Technical Report Aylward, J R ; Whitener, E M ; Hahn, H T

The electrolytic dissolution of zirconium in HCl-methanol was studied as a function of potential, solution composition, and temperature. The dissolution is characterized by two regions. At high potentials the zirconium is electropolished and complete dissolution is achieved. At low potentials the current is an exponential function of the potential (Tafel behavior). In this region a small amount of finely divided alpha -zirconium which is insoluble in HCl-methanol separates from the bulk metal. The energy of activation for the corrosion reaction (0.0 volt) is 16.5 kcal/mole; in the electropolishing region (1.0 volt) the activation energy is 7.7 kcal/mole. A broad solventmore »« less
